Mere truth pales in comparison!

September is a month for remembering the Battle of Blair Mountain, the largest armed rebellion in the US since the Civil War. In 1921, thousands of striking coal miners fought a private army of murderous thugs hired by the mine owners. Over one million shots were fired. With the government providing targeting info, the thugs bombed the miner’s camps from aircraft. Some of the trenches, like the corporate abuses that led to the battle, are still visible today. They didn’t mention this in history class? I wonder why!
